It's not just Qld, NSW and the HCCC are also doing a 'great' job of witch
hunting. I think it's just we are easier targets, don't have the AMA
laywers to defend us and don't have the AMA to settle out of court. Some of
you may vaugley remember my call for assistance for a collegue being hunted
down, case went before the NRB in Mar, still no word on the outcome. It's
difficult to work out why this is happening but when we look broadly at how
our society is acting, no one has to take any responsibility, it's always
someone elses 'duty of care' to ensure the best thing is done and if we are
not happy we have the right to complain. Just my thoughts
